Excerpt from article in NCR (6/8/2012): We talk about schism and purges. We talk about a leaner church, a remnant church. Many are convinced of sinister forces at work, and on the rise. In journals of opinion, at dinner parties, at family gatherings, at coffee and donuts after Mass, Catholics are talking.I think we need some guidelines for these discussions, ways to bring them out of the fog of conspiracy and into the light of real conversation.
